Yes, will do.

Sorry my bad, "behind" could be confusing(or wrong:-)).
0000:00:00.0 is the host bridge, 0000:00:02.0 and 0000:00:03.0 are
the 2 devices on bus 00. So these 3 devides are on the same bus.

No pci-pci bridge, no secondary bus (see above explanation).
0000:00:00.0 (host bridge), 0000:00:02.0 and 0000:00:03.0 are the only
3 real pci devices in the chip.

Will re-submit together with other cleanup for the same file. Thanks.
